A Little Small Talk.

Ben and Jacqueline

I’m Ben. My wife’s name is Jacqueline, and her friends call her Jacq. We both work in tech, remotely from our shared home office.

I’m the Director Of Customer Service and Support for several brands in the WordPress Space over at StellarWP.com, and Jacqueline manages the operations for WPSessions.

On the side, we run The WP Steward.

We’re parents of three boys, and you can likely find us chasing one of them to some sporting event these days. This site is where I like to verbally process life. If you dig back far enough here, you’ll find articles written from our time on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ, and various other stages of life.

Thanks for stopping by and checking us out. We’re glad you’re here.

We Need To Talk

In 2005 while dating long distance, we met for a day trip to hike and hang out in Blairsville, GA. It was the geographic center of our relationship, about a 3 hour drive from both Jacqueline’s childhood home and my place in Middle Tennessee. It was a magical day, and we capped it off watching …
